Once upon a time in the woods

A rotoscoped animation using unscripted footage from a hike in the woods with my 6 year old brother Julian. I rotoscoped it by hand drawing every frame, using a wacom tablet, even the titles. If you have time, visit my illustration website at: http://vocaleyes.com/benarthur/

I wrote a tutorial on how I animated this, you can see it at: http://www.totalapps.net/tutorials/how-to-rotoscope-with-your-bamboo-tablet/

Great work! Cute kid and funny beginning.

Too bad the link of the tutorial isn't working anymore.

Can you please upload the link again or a video tutorial on how you animated this?

[bentarthur]

@SickRobots thanks for the heads up - I fixed the link, they just changed the title for some reason, but the tutorial is the same. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Very nice work on the animation.

And yeah, it's rough being a tree. There are all sorts of horrible ways for a tree to go; having your "hair" eaten eaten by all kinds of wild animals, having holes carved into you by rodents and birds for their homes, having your innards devoured by insects, your limbs torn off by storms, struck by lightening and burning to death. Really unlucky ones get ripped out by floods or tornado, or even volcanoes!

Yeah, it's rough being a tree.

brilliant use of rotoscoping - really good to see your distinctive style. I've uploaded a 5 min animation using a lot of rotoscoping and some morphing.. I use a wacom Table at "painter"
